Planning your Route

The Metro map is the key to your travel success. Once you become comfortable with the various lines and directions, getting to your destinations will be a piece of cake, or should we say, "Gâteau."

When you enter a Metro station, you will find a large map posted on the wall. You can plan your route there. However, you may find it easier to carry your own map with you. You can get free printed maps at the ticket counter.

One word of caution: consulting your map while in the Metro station or on the train could identify you as a tourist, and tourists are favored by pickpockets. Therefore, if possible, plan your route in advance and always be aware of your surroundings.
